That was not what I was expecting to see, and it was awesome. I would like someone (very large and strong) to do that for me, please.

Or maybe this, lollusc? (Sadly, it's is not much more than 3D renders at the moment).

I think what the child said right at the end was "I feel sick..."

My favorite part was whatever on the bike was squeaking. Oh and that she was wearing a helmet. Oh and also the kid. And really everything about it. That was my favorite!

I wish we could all be as happy as this kid riding The Corkscrew at the Laguna Seca race track.

Thanks Internet for setting the bar higher for parenting with that one. 42lbs+20lbs=62lbs I'll have to hold up in the air for 2 minutes. I hope her brother doesn't see this or I'll have 75lbs for another 2 minutes.

At least put out a not safe for dads who don't work out filter tag on this.

Juliette closed her eyes at one point, and took her hands off the handlebars - but not at the same time. She'll lose marks for that.

Fifteen years from now we'll see here at World's.

I tried to do this once, but apparently the Monterey County Sheriff just hangs out there ready to kick out anyone who hops over the wall from the mountain bike trails that run behind the racetrack to do a lap on their bikes.
